Preview: WebVR & Web Payments at FullStack 2017!

FullStack, the JavaScript, Node and IoT conference, is returning to London next month — and Ada and I will be there!

Ada is speaking on the first day right after Douglas Crockford (so no pressure Ada! 😉). Ada will be talking about Virtual Reality and the future of the Web — sharing the awesome potential of WebVR and showing some of the demos that blew minds at the recent CSS Day!

On Day 2 of FullStack, I’ll be giving a 15-minute tour of Web Payments. Did you knowaround 70% of online checkouts are abandoned — with a study showing the abandonment rate is nearly 25% higher on mobile than desktop? Over a quarter of survey respondents said the reason was the checkout process was too long / complicated. So if browsers can provide APIs for easy online checkouts, that can be a big win for our customers and us developers alike.
